Twenty more trees will be planted around Hudson next year after the city was informed it will receive a $2,000 grant to cover the cost of the trees.

The Hudson City Council on Tuesday authorized city manager Steve Hartsel to sign the community tree planting program grant agreement with Consumers Energy and the Michigan Forestry and Parks Association. The city recently applied for the 2017 grant, which covers the cost of 20 trees.

City officials must return the grant agreement in order to receive the funding, Hartsel said. The city has participated in the grant program for years, with the trees purchased locally and planted along the city’s trail system.
